Early Admissions Success Stories: How They Got In

Thursday January 22nd, 2026

5pm Pacific, 7pm Central, 8pm Eastern

Our students received a record-breaking 100+ early acceptances to Top 30 colleges, including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and more.

In this live webinar, our Director of Undergraduate Services breaks down three real early-admit case studies to show exactly how our students stood out in one of the most selective early admissions cycles to date.

Meet the Students

Student A

Accepted to Caltech | 2% Admit Rate

Academic Profile: 4.69 GPA, 1570 SAT, 35 ACT
Interests: Data Science, Math, and Physics
The Challenge: Ensuring a highly accomplished STEM profile read as a cohesive story, not a resume.
How We Helped: Clarified an interdisciplinary academic focus and built a clear application narrative to help stand out in an oversaturated STEM pool.

Student B

Accepted to University of Chicago | 4.5% Admit Rate

Academic Profile: 1500 SAT, 35 ACT
Interests: Debate, Law / Public Policy, and Civic Leadership
The Challenge: A high-achieving profile that risked feeling unfocused.
How We Helped: Developed a single, intentional narrative across activities and essays.

Student C

Accepted to Brown University | 5% Admit Rate

Academic Profile: 4.46 GPA, 1550 SAT
Interests: Humanities and Technology
The Challenge: Strong grades and curiosity, but no clear academic direction.
How We Helped: Identified a specific academic direction and aligned research and coursework to it.
